“Cyber ist kein neues Thema. Aber im Gegensatz zu Utopien von vor vierzig Jahren brachte der Cyberraum keine Welt mit sich, in der militärische Gewalt keine Rolle mehr spielt und Konflikte nur mehr vorm Computer ausgetragen werden. Tatsächlich hat sich die Realität als sowohl komplexer als auch besorgniserregender erwiesen” – Annalena Baerbock aus der Nato-Konferenz zur Cyberabwehr.
Ransomware, a malicious form of malware, encrypts files on devices, rendering them and their systems unusable. Malicious actors demand a ransom for decryption, and they have evolved to employ “double extortion” tactics, exfiltrating victim data and threatening to release it. This dual threat severely impacts organizations, hindering their access to essential data and incurring significant economic and reputational costs.
